Description

The ROAMI infrastructure consists of a top notch 4 channel 110 GHz Real-time Oscilloscope (RTO) capturing 256 GSa/s with a memory of 2 Gpts per channel. The RTO will be procured from Keysight Technologies. The datasheet and application notes are available on the supplier’s website, with reference UXR1104A Infiniium UXR Real-Time Oscilloscope.

The involved research groups will build various measurement modalities around the RTO in order to achieve research on the characterization of novel multi-layer material systems, nonlinear devices, integrated circuits, and subsystems for beyond 5G applications, with particular needs for real-time operation (e.g., to study single events or non-periodic signals). The RTO will also be used for the system-level testing of wireless, optical, and hybrid electro-optical systems and communication links for beyond 5G and Terabit networks.
